(A) try removing the marks with "T-Cut" but don't rub any harder than you need too... Car paint is very thin!! aranoid:

(B) be a lot more carefull when cleaning in future!

t-cut should be available in strauss right? & its for interior right? 'cause since u meant car paint is very thin, i believe you're referring to the exterior and not the interior?

you could try a good interior trim protectant and see if it masks any of it. I think a lot of ppl over on detailcity recommend Meg's NXT Interior Detailer Spray/Wipes. :dunno:

I think hes got it, I just use armour all though and it works wonders. I keep a thing of the wipes in the cup holder and wipe it down while I sit in the endless traffic. All I need now is a small vacum with a long hose so I can clean the floor too.

Erm yep, I thought you meant body panels, not the upholstery... :sorry: .. :blush: dohh..

What material is it? velour? cloth? leather? other? or are you refering to the plastic bits?

I've had a couple of minor ones in the plastic that my leather cleaner & treatment has covered up nicely. I do have a couple from the seatbelt that are deeper. I might get brave & lightly sand, then treat the plastic at some point. So far I haven't been that brave! aranoid:

Try a Mr Clean Magic Eraser. They is good stuff. Zillions of uses.

Cloth, hmmmm ask the ladies, they are usually brill with materials.. :yes:

To cure a scour on velour, find a bit that doesn't show but still has a deep pile, scratch some pile off carefully using a knife or blade, then use tiny amount of rubber based glue, one that goes not set hard (dunno whats available to you over there) along the gouge, finaly stick the material you scraped up carefully onto the glue.... I used to do that a lot on snooker tables that people had dug into with their cues, it works very well if you do it carefully..

Plastic - Try to get a good match with the colour of the plastic using boot/shoe polish on large marks, it is possible to mix diff colour polishes to get the colour you need..

On thin small deep scratches in plastic trims, I have used kids greasy crayons to good effect, rub them across the mark to work some into the cut/scratch, then wipe off any surplus with a soft clean cloth..

On black rubbery materials like door trims, rubber mats, or car tyres, a rag soaked in white spirit or parafin works well..

Use caution with armor all stuff, it's too greasy or something, might make plastic very shiney and reflective. Also armor all is really, really bad for leather - I think it dries it excessively.

DUDE, this works so well. I got a little Kiwi black polish stick and used it on my door panels - works like a charm! Thanks for the tip!

This is a horrible product. Just like you siad, dries "ALL" things excessively. Leather, plastics and rubbers. Use a product like Formula 2000. This product does not dry. Not to mention the greasy effect. yuck :thumbsdow
